III. — SPECTAL STUDENTS 



Can enter for a shorter time, to try if the calling of 

 gardener suits them, so that later they can take a course 

 of one or two years. This class, as well as those who want 

 to improve their health by occupation in the open air, 

 only take part in practical instruction. They will find 

 near the Leutesdorf school a good boarding-house, where 

 the charge is 30s. monthly. Entry on the 1st or 15th of 

 every month. 



Scholars under eighteen years of age are in the special 

 charge of the principal, and without her permission may 

 not leave the institution. Practical instruction is divided 

 into four hours in the morning and two in the afternoon. 

 Theoretical instruction is given from one to two hours 

 daily in the afternoon. Scholars are free on Saturday 

 afternoon and Sunday. From time to time excursions 

 with the students are undertaken to inspect the surrounding 

 country, gardens and pleasure-grounds, and nurseries; 



Punctuality and order are required of every student. 

 The rules of the school and house must be rigidly observed.
